    Hey there! I'm Brianne, founder of Work Life, an early stage venture firm in Silicon Valley, investing in tools and services for the modern workplace. I'm an investor in Webflow, Voiceflow, Tandem, Command E and 20+ startups. Prior to investing, I led Product & GTM strategy at Zendesk including self-serve revenue, technology integrations, and built Zendesk for Startups. Let's talk about the importance of selling to startups, how Web3 has evolved, and predictions for 2022! AMA πŸ‘‡

    Hey Brianne! Low-code tools have come and gone throughout the history of the web. What are the potentials of the current low-no-code wave? Do you believe it will ultimately commoditize the software industry?

    I think and hope that the web3 and the token economy around it will enable more and more developers to contribute towards open source projects. The creator economy will incentivize individual developers to create an open and verifiable portfolio and monetize their time spent towards open projects. It will change the way companies hire, and candidates see career opportunities. What are your thoughts on it and are there any companies in your radar that are doing something similar ?

    Hi Brianne -- I'm trying to pilot my Future of Work SaaS at startups and am struggling to find the right sponsor persona. We're taking a new grounds-up employee-centric approach to employee retention where managers acknowledge employee choice of employer and work with the employee to learn and enable their aspirations. CXOs get the cost of attrition but are too busy to engage, HR is too invested in Lattice/Workday to try a new tool (since it'll question their own investment of said tools in the CXO eyes). I know that all tech companies are dealing with resignations, but am struggling to find early adopters. Any advice here? We're https://www.yugahq.com. TIA!

    I am a child prodigy who notices things parents in Asia don’t. We at bootstrapped Spice Trade Asia Kids are opening up a new world where parents learn from their kids, How not to destroy curiousness/queriousness. How to learn how to be innocent. How not to scare off passionate and innocent self-starters who approach them. How to frame questions and much more. We want quantum leap inventions to be imagined and done again in the East as we wake up our parents from a 600 year slumber.
